THTS valuable machine, second only to the invention of the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable change in the method of gathering cotton from the field It will do the work of from three to five hands in picking cotton from the stalk, ami is evidently a labor-saving ma chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent conditi hi for ginning — obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra pidity of its wwk, will rnable tlie rianter to prepare bis crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrangement of the Plantation. It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this ma chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to use it. One harvester, with proper'eare,’ will last a series of years. We are now selling State and County Rights for the man ufacture and use of the above machine. Any infomation relative thereto,can be obtained by calling on A'.
